“What the fuck happened? Did you call 911?” She is sobbing and rocking my beautiful girl in her arms.
“Give her to me.” I take Kenz out of her arms and hold her against me. She has blood all over her head, face, and back. She is pale and her face looks like its swelling. I hold her to me and realize I am wailing. I’m on my knees rocking her.
“The ambulance will be here in a minute, man.” Dick says. I don’t notice anyone, I just stare at my girl.
“Please baby, don’t leave me. I’m so sorry for all the pain I caused you. Please don’t leave me. I love you so much. I need you. I can’t lose you.” I repeat this over and over, kissing her forehead. I hear the ambulance pull up and the sound of police officers telling everyone to back up.
“Son, we will take it from here.” I look up to the kind eyes of the EMT.
“I can’t. I can’t let her go. Please.” I am sobbing my body shaking with fear.
“We need to take her, it’s the only way we can help her. What’s your name?”
I kiss her forehead again and say, “I’m Campbell. This is Kenz, umm, Kennedy. Please, please don’t let her die. I can’t lose her.” Another EMT comes over with the gurney.
“Campbell, we are going to have to take her from your arms now. We are only going to put her on this gurney and get her to the hospital. The faster we do that, the faster she gets the help she needs.”
I hug her tighter and kiss her forehead then her lips. “Okay.” I whisper.
They wrap a neck brace around her neck before they move her. When they lift her from my arms, I lose it.
“Kenz!” I am screaming her name, tears pouring down my cheeks. I watch as they place her still lifeless body on the gurney and begin checking her
over quickly.
“Campbell, go with her. Dick and I will bring the girls and meet you there.” I turn to look at Young and he grabs me in a tight hug.
“She’s going to be fine man.” His voice cracks when he says it. I pull back and nod at him. I turn to see them wheeling her to the ambulance. I run to catch up.
I wait while they load her in and then jump in with them. “Campbell, you can sit right here.” I sit down where he instructed me to, watching them check her more thoroughly. “Campbell, can you tell us what happened?”
We are driving to the hospital now and I just want to get there faster. I clear my throat. “Um, no. I was in the bar and her friend went outside to see where she was. She screamed for me to help her. When I went outside she was holding Kenz in her arms.”
He gives me a shake of his head.
They are talking medical terms that I should be familiar with, but I’m not really listening. I am staring at my girl. I reach over to hold her hand that is strapped down. I rub my thumb over her knuckles over and over again. I lean forward and place a kiss on her palm.
“There is a lot of blood. Do you know where it’s coming from?” I ask without taking my eyes off her.
“Looks like most of it’s coming from her head, but it’s hard to tell if that is the only place until she gets cleaned up better.” I close my eyes against the pain I feel. She was attacked. Some worthless piece of shit attacked my girl. This is why I hated her walking home at night by herself. I was always scared something would happen to her. I feel the ambulance stop and I open my eyes to look at her again.
“Alright, Campbell, we are going to be taking her out in a few minutes. You’re not going to be able to come back with us, you’ll have to wait in the waiting room. I will tell the doctor that you are out there and to come talk to you when he can. Okay?”
I look up at him with pleading eyes. “Please, don’t let anything happen to her. She’s the love of my life.” Tears begin to fall again knowing that I am going to have to let go of her hand soon.
“Campbell, I promise you they will do everything possible to make sure she is alright.” I don’t say anything I just let my tears fall and rest my head on her hand. It doesn’t last long though.
“We need to get out now, Campbell. I’ll let you give her a quick kiss, but then we need to go.”
I get up and rest my lips on hers. “I love you so much, Kenz. Please fight, baby, please.” I get out of the ambulance and watch them rush her in. I walk through the doors up to the receptionist. “My girlfriend was just brought in by ambulance. Can you tell me where I need to wait so the doctor can find me?” She instructs me down the hall to a small waiting room.
I am the only one in here and I am grateful for that. I pace the entire room for what feels like hours. The door opens and in come the girls with Young and Dick. I rush over to Maddie and Becca to pull them into a hug. We hold onto each other while we all cry over the pain we each feel. We all pull apart, then Young and Dick both give me a tight hug.
“Have you heard anything?” Dick asks.
“No. Nothing. It’s fucking killing me. Why the fuck aren’t they in here telling me something?” The girls are sitting with their arms wrapped around each other. Young and Dick are standing next to me.
“You need to give them time to make sure everything is good. They will be in soon man.” Young says.
